Two people were taken to the hospital after a crash involving five vehicles on Interstate 675 South near the Wilmington Pike exit Wednesday.

According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol, the crash was reported around 5:50 p.m. on southbound I-675 around the 8 mile marker.

As of 6:50 p.m., two lanes were closed on I-675, but had reopened by 9 p.m., according to the Ohio Department of Transportation’s OHGO map.

According to a crash report from the Sugarcreek Township Police Department, the incident began when a 2017 Ram 1500 crashed into the back of a 2020 Honda Accord and ran off the road. The pickup then hit a 2018 Ford Focus that had also gone off the road to try to avoid a collision, and set off a chain reaction that damaged two further vehicles, for a total of five.

The crash was handled by Sugarcreek Township emergency crews, and Greene County dispatchers said that two people were taken from the crash to a local hospital.

Both people injured were listed with “possible injuries” on the crash report, and were taken to Miami Valley Hospital South.

Dispatchers said that multiple tow trucks were called to remove vehicles.

Another crash involving two vehicles was reported in the traffic from the larger crash at around 6:31 p.m. No injuries were reported connected to the later crash.
